Figui-e 1w represents a side elevation, partly broken,

of m y improved chair, and

Figure 2 represents a sectional elevation. Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

I provide a stand, A, of suitable form, on legs, and having A-shaped or other Aformed rails, whcreon I fit 'the rockers C of the seat c', provided with V-grooves,

or otherwise fitted to the said rails, andprojecting but a short dist-ance below the seat. ,I

The ends oi the rails are elevated, to prevent' the rockers from working oil'.

rlhis stand, with elevated rails, protectsthe rockloor, or :strings scattered thereon. It also provides for rockingthe chair with the same ease, when sitting on the ground; and vit also serves as a. support for a bellows, D, whereby the occupant may, by the act of rocking, impel a enrrentoi'- air upon himself, through Vervanger'nent whereby the pax't'-may be readily dei ers against rocking on small children 'crawling on the I 'a exible tube,.E, which may be directed to any part,

as required.

, The top of thisbellows is connected by a bent bar, F, to the stand A, sons to be held in a fixedposition, while the lower part is connected'by a similar bent bar,- G, to thehottom of the chair, so as to be moved up and down with it, 1o impel lthe air.

The nozzle of the bellows is suspended-from the "chair-bottoni by a yoke, H, and moves' up and down with it.

The bent bar F is so lconnccted to the stand as lto be .readily disconnected, when desired for packing or storage, and theadjustable backI, whichishinged to .the seat at K, may be disconnected by removing the -pivot'fbeltsiimd ih ear-mfslmnprts.arereadny detached by the removal ofthe wood-screws by which they are connected to the top of the seat.

The rockers may be connected to the rails of the stand by flexible bands M passing over studs projecting from the sides of cach, to prevent the. seat from moving hack and folth on far either way.

These hands maybe slipped off the stndswhen the chair is to be taken apart for packing. Having thus described my invention,

I laim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patentthe rails, or rocking too 1. The stand A, having rails B, the seat c', and rockers'O, fitted to the said rails, and the elastic-1 bands M, combined and arranged substantially als specified.
